Reading Time: < 1 minuteModel van mirrors actual van’s doors Arduino Team — March 11th, 2019 When your car door isn’t shut quite correctly, you’ll normally look down at the control panel to see what the problem is. What if, instead of indicator lights or a low-res image of your doors, you had a tiny actuated version of your […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMassive wall-mounted skull lights up workshop under Arduino control Arduino Team — March 8th, 2019 While you may or may not want a gigantic backlit skull cutout haunting the wall of your workshop, this was perfect for Jay and Jamie of the “Wicked Makers” YouTube channel. Their device is cut of two 30” squares of […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesGaming on multiple CRT monitors Arduino Team — March 8th, 2019 While you might see a CRT by the side of the street and think noting of it, Ryan Mason has come up with a novel use for five of them in a row called the Cathode MK1. This set uses the Unity game engine […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteOmni-wheel robot slides across the paper as a mobile plotter Arduino Team — March 8th, 2019 Retired maker “lingb” created an omni-bot, with four wheels that allow sliding motion in the X/Y plane courtesy of their perpendicular rollers. While that alone would have been a fun build, he also attached a pen, along with a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesAs hardware hackers, we’re always on the lookout for discarded components that can be re-purposed into something even more awesome. One such class of component that you may find is the controller-less graphics LCD modules, which can be found on old copiers, tape libraries, and the like. This project by Ivan Kostoski shows how to […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe world’s smallest forklift? Arduino Team — March 6th, 2019 Remote control cars are interesting, but as Leon van den Beukel shows in the video below, an RC forklift can be even more challenging and fun to create. His project was constructed using a variety of hand and automated techniques, resulting in a build that […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis faux candle lights, flickers, smokes, and smells like the real thing Arduino Team — March 6th, 2019 Keith of “Keith’s Test Garage” wanted an LED candle. While somewhat realistic flicking units are easy to find, he was in search of something much more like the actual thing, and after several years of work has […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteLight painting with a CNC router Arduino Team — March 6th, 2019 Maker Jeremy S. Cook has experimented with both CNC machinery and light painting in the past, and decided to combine these two skills into a new artistic device. His setup uses a web app found here to program a CNC router as a […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesElectronic dummy load is a work of readily-available art Arduino Team — March 5th, 2019 As seen here, Juan had some problems with his power supply, and while he wanted to “simply” build another one, he didn’t let the power supply go to waste. Instead he converted it into an adjustable dummy load based on […]
Reading Time: < 1 minute3D print your own Arduino hovercraft Arduino Team — March 5th, 2019 If you’ve ever considered building your own RC hovercraft, be sure to check out the latest project from “How To Mechatronics.” The build shows how to assemble one using a variety of 3D-printed parts, a pair of brushless DC motors for hover airflow […]
Reading Time: 2 minutesDetect objects with this DIY “radar” display Arduino Team — March 5th, 2019 Ultrasonic sensors, which emit a high frequency sound wave then listen for its return to determine an object’s distance, are useful in a wide variety of robotics projects.
